The assassin's dagger is a recurring Knife in the Dragon Quest series.

Much like the poison needle, it has a chance to instantly kill an enemy in a single strike, but it also capable of dealing normal damage as well. Unfortunately, it cannot chip away at the HP of a monster in the metal slime family 1 point at a time like the aforementioned dirk.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

The assassin's dagger was added in the 1996 remake and grants an Attack bonus of +25, a 6.25% (¹⁄₁₆th) chance to instantly slay a foe, and may only be equipped by Mages and Thieves. In the Super Famicom and Game Boy Color versions, an assassin's dagger can be found on the third T'n'T track near the Castle of the Dragon Queen and the Shrine of Shackles in a treasure chest. In all other versions, there is only one in the game, and it can be found in the basement of Romaria Castle, behind a door locked by the Ultimate Key.

It can be sold for 4,125 gold coins.

They can be dropped rarely by anchormen, claws in the PS2 and Cell phone versions, jackal rippers, and jumping jackals. Note: using Jessica's Sudden Death technique when the dagger is equipped will not increase the likelihood of the skill's success, and the instant death effect is absent altogether. It can be sold for 1,250 gold coins. The Assassin's dagger can be made in the Alchemy Pot and can be used to create an Imp knife, as well.
